Ashhurst out for Anzac Day.

[86GSXR]

sounds good to me. Your bike sorted with the throttle cable in all?

Yep, I gave it a temporary fix which should last until a new unit arrives. So far it's holding out quite well, I'll be glad to see a new one in there though!

would be good to meet up with you folks on this one,have been looking for a chance to join you lot for a while but stuff keeps cropping up

Will be good to meet you blacksheep - good one!

Yea ill be keen I havnt been for a good ride for a while
shit did someone mention going east, Bonez will be along any moment

Should be a good one eh, a nice wee mid week break. Weather's supposed to be looking good too!

Someone call? Depends how I feel. Been awfully ill the last few weeks.

Nothing too serious I hope Bonez?

[QUOTE=chanceyy;1022625]sorry its a bit to early for me .. will be in ashurst trimming horses feet ... hoping to get out early afternoon ..

Shame about that Sandra, but there's not much you can do given the circumstances by the sounds of it.

yes but that was the exception .. not the rule

& it does not count if the bike breaks down

cheers mate....now being a suzuki man, i wanted to get your opinion on an RF900?
been looking around and found this

the flat spot concerns me a little but other than that, do you know much about them? i think i read somewhere they have the same bottom end as a Gixxer1100 and are a pretty strong engine, cowboyz seems to think theyre a decent machine, just wanted your opinion??

oops, excuse the

It looks like a pretty nice bike, getting up in k's though. If possible it would be good to get a mechanic to listen to it and check it out, that could be a bit difficult though.

Mind you, the bigger engines are usually fairly understressed, so it would probably last for quite some time yet I'd imagine.

Both my gixxers have flat spots in the lower gears under acceleration, but they disappear in the higher gears, so it's not so much a concern for me.

My higher K (79K) gixxer has a noisy 2nd gear, which may mean future difficulties, so make sure you listen for a 'whine' from each gear if you test ride it.

I believe they are a good bike, but I've had zero experience with them.

Might be a good idea to start a thread on them, I'm sure I saw a thread on higher K bikes a few days ago and most people had had no problems with some pretty impressive mileage!

Ah, just found it!

My sister had one of these and loved it. She gave it a hiding too, wore out the rear tyres on the sides before the middle every time

Flat spots are not usually a prob on larger capacity bikes.
Those RF900 motors are good ones, very under stressed.
